I still cant believe we areloosing our best title, there will be so many guild hunt masters out there that will be loggin in, heading for the nearest cliff, looking atit and wishing they were able to jump off it.

Bah
No offense to others who like thenew name but 'Tracker'sounds pathetic imo.
I feel like it should be in the new railway maintenance profession or atleast in BH.
Well, it's good that dubblers would not want to display it. And it will be a good reason for Ranger to advance to that sweet-sounding Master Ranger title. Besides, I like to display Frontiersman sometimes.
/walks off to grumble

TO REITERATE:
NOVICE SCOUT IS REQUIRED TO USE THE HARVEST MODULES
Here is a link postedby LonkleyEarlier:

- How /areatrack is buggy
- What camo does
- That camo doesnt remove you from the radar
- That we cannot harvest "tonnes" more than a master scout
- That our camps DONT (dispite popular belief) ROCK
There is no hiding the fact we are loosing a perfectly good title. Id even settle to move hunt master title to the master box so you have a choice between Master Ranger or Hunt Master if it would enable me to retain this title.
Look im getting desperate now, but alot of friends (although know i am a master ranger) know me as the hunt master of our guild and have always known me as this.
Its just pretty sad we will be changed to a title that doesnt reflect thecomplete nature of the tier. As im sure you've all asked yourselves what do enhancments to harvesting have to do with tracking? Fact is tracking only represents one skill. Hunt Master incorporates both harvesting bonuses AND the ability to hunt down our prey via tracking in one word.
DAMN YOU DEVS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! (abit harsh but you get the picture)

As for the droids...not much to say until more data is in. I'd given up levelling a Ranger on Test because of the purported character-copy feature, but that never coalesced out of the ether. As a result I've only got a 1-1-0-0 Scout with 1-0-0-0 Marksman over there.

Hello gents,
Ok, I went to the ranger forum and saw the post by your correspondent. If you ask me, it seems the higher your skillset the more hides your droid would get, while you kill the monsters. I dont see how this is a loosing situation for a Ranger?
Here is the problem. Rangers have no useful unique abilities. The main advantage to being a ranger is that you harvest more than anyone else. We have to spend a bazillion skill points to achieve this advantage.
Now consider that for 50k or less, a scout can "buy" that ranger ability by buying a droid, or, if he'd rather, a crate of food.
Lets put it in terms you can understand. Suppose I was to suggest a droid that allowed a ranger to craft droids. Would a DE be in favor of such a droid?

Ok seems to me that instead of fixing our profession so we can I don't know, HARVEST, we are now required to purchase a droid from a DE so we can do our job..... Does this make sense to anyone?!?!? I personally would prefer to harvest without a droid. Are we going to make it so Dancers need a droid to be able to heal a reasonable amout of BF. Will Smugglers need a droid to do good slices. Will rifleman need a droid to be able to fire straight.
This to me seems like another NERF... But since I am a Ranger I am use to this.

The "problem" is Uber Template of Death + itty bity bits of Scout out harvests us Master Rangers by volume, and they can solo. Adding a droid to increase this insult isn't a problem in itself, it just rubs salt in the wound.
What I wanted to ask several times by now: How exactly do you think does a novice-scout-based "template" look that can actually outharvest a master ranger/master rifleman like you are and I used to be before dropping the lines of ranger that I had no use for.

Well the whole idea on this patch is to make droid usefull.
So the new modules, I think, won't fix any profession, their not intended to, but will give them a reason to buy a droid.
Droid isn't required to harvest, and so far, no one know how it does really work.
You did have harvest before this patch, when was the last time you had a use for a droid?
